if the rx ring is completely empty, then the device may never fire an rx
interrupt. unfortunately, the rx interrupt is what triggers populating
the rx ring with fresh buffers, so this will cause networking to lock
up.

this patch recycles the last skb that we were about to indicate up to
the network stack (only if the rx ring is completely starved of skbs)
so the ring will never be completely empty. If we fail to allocate a
secondary page buffer, we just indicate a 0 length buffer to the device.

This is why other drivers allocate the replacement skb _first_ before
handing the current receive packet to the stack.

And if the replacement allocation fails, they elide passing the packet
to the stack, and instead recycle it back onto the RX ring.

Please implement your RX policy in this manner, as we advise all Linux
networking drivers to, and you simply won't have this problem.

I'm sorry if my patch description was unclear, but as I understand it, what you are describing is what this patch implements. The patched rx handler does something like:
1) poll the rx ring, peel off a pending skb (don't pass the packet up the stack yet)
2) if the ring needs to be repopulated, we do that
3) if the ring was repopulated successfully, then that's great, and we pass up the pending skb to the network stack.
4) if not and there are no skbs left on the ring, we reuse the pending skb and recycle it back on the ring (effectively dropping the packet we were about to pass up to the network stack)

Maybe the code structure is a bit unclear? Since we don't always repopulate the ring every iteration (only when we hit a low watermark), it's true that we don't strictly always allocate a new skb before passing up the old one, but since this is only a problem when there are no skbs on the ring, and we do elide passing up the pending skb in this case, is that not ok?

thanks,
-sjg--

You shouldn't restrict this logic to when the ring is empty, you
should never leave any RX ring slots empty.

Every RX ring entry should be processed with a "alloc_skb()" first,
and if the allocation fails you recycle the RX ring's SKB.

But this means the driver drops received packets as soon as there is an
allocation failure, rather than only if there are repeated failures.  I
don't see how that's preferable.

Because it decreases the possibility of RX ring starvation.

If you get one allocation failure during a NAPI poll run, and you're
proabably processing a set of packets, they are all going to fail.
